Caesar was Augustus's last name and his father was Julius Caesar but really his` nephew but Julius adopted him i no this because my dads a historian and i asked him and he said this.
After Caesar's death Marc Antony was in charge as he was the remaining consul. Now here's where things get messy. Cicero and the senate began to throw their weight around and young Octavian came to Rome. Antony snubbed Octavian, who then co- operated with Cicero against Antony. A war ensued, reconciliation, and the second triumvirate was formed culminating in Octavian winning the battle of Actium and becoming sole ruler. All this took about 13 years before Octavian/Augustus became the sole ruler.
Born Gaius Octavius into an old and wealthy equestrian branch of the plebeian Octavii family, in 44 BC he was adopted posthumously by his maternal great-uncle Gaius Julius Caesar following Caesar's assassination. Together with Mark Antonyand Marcus Lepidus, he formed the Second Triumvirate to defeat the assassins of Caesar. Following their victory at Phillipi, the Triumvirate divided the Roman Republic among themselves and ruled as military dictators.[note 3] The Triumvirate was eventually torn apart under the competing ambitions of its members: Lepidus was driven into exile and stripped of his position, and Antony committed suicide following his defeat at the Battle of Actium by Augustus in 31 BC.After the demise of the Second Triumvirate, Augustus restored the outward facade of the free Republic, with governmental power vested in the Roman Senate, the executive magistrates, and the legislative assemblies. In reality, however, he retained his autocratic power over the Republic as a military dictator. By law, Augustus held a collection of powers granted to him for life by the Senate, including supreme military command, and those of tribune and censor. It took several years for Augustus to develop the framework within which a formally republican state could be led under his sole rule. He rejected monarchical titles, and instead called himself Princeps Civitatis ("First Citizen"). The resulting constitutional framework became known as the Principate, the first phase of the Roman Empire.The reign of Augustus initiated an era of relative peace known as the Pax Romana (The Roman Peace). Despite continuous wars or imperial expansion on the Empire's frontiers and one year-long civil war over the imperial succession, the Roman world was largely free from large-scale conflict for more than two centuries. Augustus dramatically enlarged the Empire, annexing Egypt, Dalmatia, Pannonia, Noricum, and Raetia, expanded possessions in Africa, expanded into Germania, and completed the conquest of Hispania.Beyond the frontiers, he secured the Empire with a buffer region of client states, and made peace with the Parthian Empirethrough diplomacy. He reformed the Roman system of taxation, developed networks of roads with an official courier system, established a standing army, established the Praetorian Guard, created official police and fire-fighting services for Rome, and rebuilt much of the city during his reign.Augustus died in 14 AD at the age of 75. He may have died from natural causes, although there were unconfirmed rumors that his wife Livia poisoned him. He was succeeded as Emperor by his adopted son (also stepson and former son-in-law),

All Roman emperors bore the title of Augustus. This was an honorary title bestowed by the senate on the first Roman emperor whom historians call Augustus, even though this was not his actual name. Early historians after the fall of Rome, originally made the error of believing that Octavian was given a new "name". Prior to this the term had been applied only to holy objects and places. His original name was Gaius Octavius. Following Roman naming convention, his name changed to Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus when he was adopted by Julius Caesar in 44 BC. He did not actually use the name Octavian (which historians use to indicate the period between his adoption and his becoming emperor). After the deification of Julius Caesar in 42 BC he chose to have himself called Gaius Julius Caesar Divi Filius (Gaius Julius Son of the Divine Caesar). In 38 BC he added the title imperator (winner in battle) and his name became Imperator Gaius Julius Caesar Divi Filius. When he was bestowed the title of Augustus, his name became Imperator Gaius Julius Caesar Divi Filius Augustus.Augustus comes from the Latin verb augere, which means to augment. It is usually translated as The Venerable One. It was a religious title, not a political one.The emperors also had the title of Caesar, after Julius Caesar and Augustus' name, until the reign of the 51st emperor, Diocletian. He established what historians have called the tetrarchy (rule by four) with two senior emperors (Augusti, plural of Augustus) and two junior ones (Caesars). Because of this Maximian (the other Augustus) did not take the title of Caesar and when Galerius and Constantius became senior emperors, their title changed to Augusti and Caesar was dropped.The title of Caesar became associated with a junior imperial little and went out of use. The next emperors of the tetrarchy system, Licinius and Constantine the Great did not use this title. Neither did all subsequent emperors. They just used the title of Augustus.
The four emperors that followed Augustus were known as members of the Julio-Claudian dynasty. They were Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius and Nero.The four emperors that followed Augustus were known as members of the Julio-Claudian dynasty.

Augustus built an entirely new Roman Forum. In the Temple of Mars Ultor were statues of Mars, Venus and of the deified Julius Caesar. Augustus often used his own funds to develop new building projects.
Tiberius, Augustus' step-son Caligula, the son of Germanicus Caesar who should have succeded Tiberius but was killed by him Cladius, the brother to Germanicus and uncle to Caligula Nero, the grandson of Germanicus Caesar, the son of one of his daughters. This ends the Julio-Claudian Line.
